Course programme

In 1971, the University Computer Center was established and the teaching of Computer Science was started from the session 1971-72 with the introduction of one year Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Science (PGDCS) with an intake of 10 students. From the session 1973-74, one year professional course called Diploma In Electronic Data Processing and Machines Operation (EDP) was started. In the summer of 1982, UGC's standing committee visited the Computer Center and it recommended and approved two new courses, a three year Master of Computer Science and Applications (MCA) and a one year Post B.Sc. Diploma in Computer Science and Applications (PDCA) in place of earlier PGDCS course, along with the faculty positions, technical staff and initial grants. These courses were started from the session 1983-84 with an intake 20 students in each course initially, which was subsequently raised to full sanction strength of 30 in each. In 1988, Department of Computer Science was created and started its functioning as an independent department since 1989. Since then the Department of Computer Science has been continuously engaged in producing well trained and quality IT professionals. In addition to this the department is associated with the process of computerization of various departments and offices and spreading computer awareness and IT culture among teachers, research scholars, students and staffs of the University as well as various business sectors such as Banking, Insurance etc. The department is presently catering to the needs of about 500 students annually with sanctioned faculty strength of 11 (1 Prof. + 3 Reader + 7 Lectures) only

Ph.D. in Computer Science has been started, while M.Tech. (Information Technology) and .M.Sc. (Computer Science) are planned to be started from the next academic year, subject to its approval by appropriate authorities and availability of additional resources.

The courses offered by the department are job-oriented with almost 100% Job opportunities and placement. The courses are regularly reviewed and updated to keep it in tune with the latest requirements of the IT industry. Our potential recruiters are TCS, Infosys, IBM, Accenture, CSC, BCL, Wipro, JK Tech., Mindfire, Bharti Telesoft, etc.
